:00:00. > :00:21.rephonersments arrive, is this an escalation that could lead to war.

:00:22. > :00:29.And we are in Kiev, investigating the links between the new Government

:00:30. > :00:33.and Neo-Nazis. Why is Nigel Farage trying to shut down questions at his

:00:34. > :00:40.own spring conference. I'm not answering any more questions on that

:00:41. > :00:48.subject. Anything else anyone has to ask? Will it be the same question

:00:49. > :00:55.from you? It always is. And... 49 and the last one backhand, 50. Does

:00:56. > :01:02.thrashing at school set you up for a more successful life, Sir Alex

:01:03. > :01:09.Fergusonies thinks so, does anyone think he might be right?

:01:10. > :01:16.Ukraine is tonight accusing Russia of invasion and military occupation

:01:17. > :01:20.as armed guards take over key infrastructure points across the

:01:21. > :01:24.Crimea. Phone lines to the region have been cut and all flights

:01:25. > :01:27.suspended, Britain has warned against travel there. The White

:01:28. > :01:32.House and David Cameron have called on Russia to respect Ukrainian

:01:33. > :01:40.territory. Today the first public appearance from Viktor Yanukovych,

:01:41. > :01:46.who spoke from Russia and told President Putin to take a stronger

:01:47. > :01:49.line with Ukraine's leaders. Bring us up-to-date because President

:01:50. > :01:54.Obama has been speaking ten minutes or so ago. Just before we came on

:01:55. > :01:59.air strikes he described the situation in Ukraine as "fluid". You

:02:00. > :02:06.have a leader facing rapidly unfolding events which could have

:02:07. > :02:09.future relations with Europe, and here was a man not committing

:02:10. > :02:15.himself too much but sounding strong. It would be a clear

:02:16. > :02:22.violation of Russia's commitment to respect the independence and

:02:23. > :02:28.sovereignty and borders of Ukraine and international laws. Days after t

:02:29. > :02:33.world came to Russia for the Olympic Games it would invite the

:02:34. > :02:38.condemnation of countries around the world. And the United States will

:02:39. > :02:42.stand by the affirmation of there will be costs of any military

:02:43. > :02:46.intervention in the Ukraine. He's still keeping conditionality in his

:02:47. > :02:50.language waiting for events to be confirmed. The Pentagon was briefing

:02:51. > :02:55.out to reporters earlier this evening that it believed that

:02:56. > :02:58.reports of Russian troops moving by aircraft and ship into Crimea were

:02:59. > :03:02.true. So the situation seems to be recognised by them for what it is.

:03:03. > :03:07.Now we know the situation there tonight is still unfolding at quite

:03:08. > :03:12.a pace. For example the airspace has been closed over the Crimea. You can

:03:13. > :03:16.see it on app here, the Black Sea there with the Crimea to the north

:03:17. > :03:21.in the centre of it. The international flights moving across

:03:22. > :03:25.the screen, but avoiding Crimea airspace. This, of course, is all

:03:26. > :03:32.part of an unfolding picture that we have to understand a little better

:03:33. > :03:37.as the day has progressed. The first they knew of it was armed men

:03:38. > :03:41.appeared at the airport. Some Russians claimed they were a

:03:42. > :03:47.self-defence group, but their uniforms and kit told a different

:03:48. > :03:55.story. Of a regular military force taking an objective. Other airports

:03:56. > :04:01.got the same treament. In Balaclava Bay a Russian cor vet took station

:04:02. > :04:06.in the harbour and surrounded the naval base. For a while Russia

:04:07. > :04:10.maintained the fiction that the boots on the ground belonged to the

:04:11. > :04:15.self-defence groups anxious to secure the peninsula from invasion

:04:16. > :04:19.by Ukrainian extremists. TRANSLATION: I'm not sure who they

:04:20. > :04:23.are, just armed people, but they helped us to establish security.

:04:24. > :04:26.They took the territory under control and moved further away.

:04:27. > :04:30.Since morning they have been patrolling the area. But by the

:04:31. > :04:35.afternoon things were becoming clearer, with the main Ukrainian

:04:36. > :04:39.fighter station in Crimea secured, the way was clear to fly in

:04:40. > :04:45.reinforcements from Russia. More than a dozen Russian helicopters

:04:46. > :04:50.flew at tree top height to the airfield. Fixed wing transport

:04:51. > :04:57.planes reportedly landed. Then a ground column of APCs rushed out

:04:58. > :05:01.from the base. The command vehicle had to be towed out. At this point

:05:02. > :05:05.the Russian Foreign Ministry confirmed its troops had left the

:05:06. > :05:13.naval base area, recognised by international treaty and were

:05:14. > :05:17.entering Ukraine proper, heading for Sypherapol, the fiction that this

:05:18. > :05:24.was not a Russian state intervention was dissolving. Across the Russian

:05:25. > :05:29.border Ukraine's ousted President, Viktor Yanukovych, appeared to say

:05:30. > :05:35.the office was still his by right and nobody was about to divide up

:05:36. > :05:41.his country. TRANSLATION: I want to say it over and over again, and add

:05:42. > :05:44.that I'm radically against military intervention in Ukraine, and the

:05:45. > :05:50.violation of territorial integrity of Ukraine as a sovereign

:05:51. > :05:59.Government. If Russia wants to separate Crimea from the Ukraine, it

:06:00. > :06:03.now has various options. The seventh airbourne division based could

:06:04. > :06:07.provide the troops to rephoners Crimea, garrisons nearby could also

:06:08. > :06:11.send in troops. The Ukrainians meanwhile have little close at hand

:06:12. > :06:16.to oppose them. The four brigades it has near to the Crimea would take

:06:17. > :06:23.days to organise and move there. As for options short of intervention on

:06:24. > :06:27.that scale, the precedence of Moldova and others are there for

:06:28. > :06:33.local Russians to organised armed groups, with Russian troops being

:06:34. > :06:37.cast in the role of peacekeepers. You shared the difficulty with the

:06:38. > :06:42.response, has Ukraine actually tried to push back and resist this at all?

:06:43. > :06:45.This is an extraordinary thing. President Obama this evening

:06:46. > :06:49.commended Ukraine's restraint in responding to this. There were

:06:50. > :06:54.reports earlier today from that airbase, where their main fighter

:06:55. > :06:56.station is on the Crimea, the people who could have taken to the skies to

:06:57. > :07:01.oppose what was going on, but the Russian troops believed that Russian

:07:02. > :07:04.troops had taken the airbase, taken the runway, blocked the runway to

:07:05. > :07:10.stop these fighters taken off. All of this suggests a supine approach

:07:11. > :07:15.by the Ukrainians, no troops movements, no attempt to contest the

:07:16. > :07:20.skies or attempt to use anti-careful missile batteries to stop this. Does

:07:21. > :07:24.this be token deliberate orders from Kiev not to inflame the situation,

:07:25. > :07:29.bringing about a Georgia-style war, or is it to do with the weakness of

:07:30. > :07:36.the Ukrainian army, its confusion in this situation of having to actually

:07:37. > :07:39.turn its guns on its erstwhile brothers in the Russian Armed

:07:40. > :07:44.Forces. We don't know, but the fact they haven't responded has meant so

:07:45. > :07:47.far this has been bloodless. So clearly then there are questions

:07:48. > :07:50.tonight, not just for Russia, but also for this new Ukrainian

:07:51. > :07:56.Government, and how it will respond going forward. Our correspondent is

:07:57. > :08:00.in Kiev this evening for us. I think this is a very difficult situation

:08:01. > :08:03.indeed for this new Ukrainian Government, remember it is a

:08:04. > :08:07.Government that was put together just a couple of days ago, thrown

:08:08. > :08:12.together in the circumstances of the revolution, a bunch of disparate

:08:13. > :08:16.people, that have come together, are taking over the functions of the

:08:17. > :08:20.state. A state which in many ways is still relying on volunteers and

:08:21. > :08:24.activists to keep law and order going. This is a huge, huge

:08:25. > :08:28.challenge for them, but I can bet that behind the scenes, especially

:08:29. > :08:32.from the west, diplomats will be urging the people who are in charge

:08:33. > :08:39.here in Ukraine to exercise extreme caution. Do not make the mistake,

:08:40. > :08:44.they will be saying, of Georgia in 2008, do not respond rashly, look at

:08:45. > :08:48.what happened there. It won't end well. It was very interesting seeing

:08:49. > :08:51.today Viktor Yanukovych, who appeared for the first time in

:08:52. > :08:56.southern Russia, to give a press conference. He vowed he would fight

:08:57. > :09:01.on for the people of Ukraine. He denied that he had been overthrown

:09:02. > :09:04.and he again used this rhetoric of fascists and terrorists. We have

:09:05. > :09:08.heard the Russians use these words as well, and this of course is off

:09:09. > :09:13.the back of reports that there were far right nationalist groups in

:09:14. > :09:17.amongst the protestors. That certainly is true, but I have spent

:09:18. > :09:20.the past few days investigating to what extent the far right was the

:09:21. > :10:01.driver behind this revolution? In place of the defiant speeches the

:10:02. > :10:06.sombre trains of Beethoven fill the square. This revolution is moving

:10:07. > :10:12.into a new phase. Amidst the flowers and the children's tributes, shes of

:10:13. > :10:19.something more sinister. Groups of armed men strut through the square

:10:20. > :10:25.with dubious iconography. That yellow armband is a German symbol

:10:26. > :10:30.used by several SS divisions during the Second World War. Far right

:10:31. > :10:34.graffiti is appearing, daubed on the walls of the city. The people who

:10:35. > :10:39.brought down the Government were overwhelmingly ordinary Ukrainians.

:10:40. > :10:47.Students and doctors, workers and even families, people who simply

:10:48. > :10:51.refused to back down. But the most organised and perhaps the most

:10:52. > :10:55.effective were a small number of far right groups, when it came to

:10:56. > :11:03.confrontations with the police, it was often the nationalists who were

:11:04. > :11:08.the loudest and most violent. A group calling itself The Right

:11:09. > :11:12.Sector is perhaps the largest. Its members can be seen marching around

:11:13. > :11:18.Kiev in columns of about a dozen. Mostly they carry baseball bats.

:11:19. > :11:22.Sometimes they carry guns. We met these men, posing for pictures

:11:23. > :11:25.outside the burntout remains of what was once their headquarters. I asked

:11:26. > :12:26.them about their political beliefs. I asked about the east, what about

:12:27. > :12:40.Crimea where many Ukrainians feel close historical ties to Russia?

:12:41. > :12:44.Police have largely disappeared from the streets of Kiev, law and order

:12:45. > :12:48.is maintained by so called defence groups. Not all hold extreme views,

:12:49. > :12:54.but those who do are often shy of the cameras. We got late night phone

:12:55. > :12:58.call from another group, known as C 14, inviting us to meet their leader

:12:59. > :13:02.at their new base. It turned out to be the former headquarters of the

:13:03. > :13:14.Communist Party, now occupied by the far right. It is our general mission

:13:15. > :13:18.to totally ruin the chains that connect our country with imperial

:13:19. > :13:23.power from the past. And that being Russia? Yes. Russia,

:13:24. > :13:28.not only Russia, the Soviet Union. Are you a Nazi? No, I don't think

:13:29. > :13:35.I'm a Nazi, I'm a Ukrainian nationalist. What does that mean?

:13:36. > :13:39.The main confrontation is about that some ethnic groups have control,

:13:40. > :13:49.many business structures and economics and political forces.

:13:50. > :13:54.Which ethnic groups? Russia and Jews and the Poles, and some

:13:55. > :14:00.non-Ukrainian groups control a huge per cent of some occupational power,

:14:01. > :14:06.and of course in th situation Ukrainian people have some tensions.

:14:07. > :14:12.It causes conflicts. He says his group consists of around 200 men. C

:14:13. > :14:19.14 is affiliated with a political party, called "freedom", which now

:14:20. > :14:22.controls two ministries in the Government, including the Ministry

:14:23. > :14:34.of Defence. Two of its MPs were recently photographed brandishing

:14:35. > :14:39.well known far right numberology. 88 stance for HH, Heil Hitler. We are

:14:40. > :14:45.fighting against Naziism, for us Naziism and communism are two sides

:14:46. > :14:50.of the same coin. They are both destroying the Ukrainian nation in

:14:51. > :14:54.the 20th century. And fought against Ukrainians and killed millions of

:14:55. > :14:57.Ukrainians. The ferver of the revolution is beginning to fade,

:14:58. > :15:02.people are starting to move on. But it is clear that it was the radical

:15:03. > :15:05.groups who kept up the pressure on Viktor Yanukovych, and many of them

:15:06. > :15:10.feel that this really is their victory. The question is, how much

:15:11. > :15:15.power will that give the far right in the new Ukraine? Ukrainian

:15:16. > :15:19.politics is in a state of flux. Different groups are jostling for

:15:20. > :15:22.position. Left-wing activists have also taken control of some

:15:23. > :15:27.Government buildings. But it is the right that appears to be coming out

:15:28. > :15:31.on top. When the fighting started they started to attract more and

:15:32. > :15:36.more young people and then not only young people but all kinds of

:15:37. > :15:40.persons. Where they were marginal, regarded as marginal, previously now

:15:41. > :15:46.they are seen as being at the core of the protest and therefore the

:15:47. > :15:53.core of those who now have popular legitimacy to make decisions. With

:15:54. > :15:57.their anti-Russian rhetoric, events in Crimea will almost certainly play

:15:58. > :16:01.into the hands of the nationalists. No-one knows exactly how strong they

:16:02. > :16:09.are in terms of numbers, but the influence of the far right in

:16:10. > :16:14.Ukraine is growing. Neil Hamilton has been described as many things in

:16:15. > :16:22.his long and varied career, rarely, I think we can safely say as a "back

:16:23. > :16:26.room boy", it was this phrase employed by Nigel Farage of his

:16:27. > :16:31.campaign manager that set the cat among the pigeons at the UKIP spring

:16:32. > :16:38.conference. He thought they could win elections in May. We caught the

:16:39. > :16:41.drama. The report contains flash photography. There is a special

:16:42. > :16:46.surprise here for you today, the only fruitcake here today is on the

:16:47. > :16:51.tray in the auditorium. REPORTER: Are you a fruitcake-free party.

:16:52. > :16:56.Nigel Farage says it is time his party was seen as more than a

:16:57. > :16:59.collection of fruitcakes. It is a mainstream political force he says,

:17:00. > :17:04.it could come first in the European elections. But the question is, is

:17:05. > :17:07.his party ready? I think and believe we are are posing the biggest threat

:17:08. > :17:11.to the political establishment that has been seen in modern times. When

:17:12. > :17:15.you look at the people in the UKIP we come from a broad range of

:17:16. > :17:20.backgrounds, from the left, from the centre, from the right. Most people

:17:21. > :17:23.in UKIP who stand as candidates or who are branch officers have never

:17:24. > :17:28.been volumed in politics before. Nigel Farage wants us to believe

:17:29. > :17:33.that UKIP is well on the way to political maturity, but are they

:17:34. > :17:39.really all grown up now? The signs are today that they are still making

:17:40. > :17:42.rookie mistakes. UKIP wanted to make clear today how much more diverse

:17:43. > :17:47.the party has become, but it was soon having to explain why they have

:17:48. > :17:52.decided to borrow the BNB's "love Britain" slogan. To argue that some

:17:53. > :18:02.how you are not allowed to say you love your country, because some

:18:03. > :18:06.ultra extreme racist splitter whatever yobby party has said they

:18:07. > :18:10.love Britain and no-one is allowed to say they love Britain is

:18:11. > :18:17.ridiculous. You disgust me, get out of my way. The circus at the last

:18:18. > :18:30.UKIP conference in September, this is MEP Godfrey Bloom, the man who

:18:31. > :18:34.denounced said to bongo bongoland and stormed away here. They say

:18:35. > :18:38.today they are more disciplined. I have always said on every occasion

:18:39. > :18:42.if we are going to play with the big boys we have to act like big boys in

:18:43. > :18:47.the political world. I agree with Nigel's perspective, we don't want

:18:48. > :18:50.to become so PC that we lose the individuality that makes the party

:18:51. > :18:54.the success it is. But we have dealt with the likes of Godfrey Bloom, and

:18:55. > :18:58.with some of the other issues. The party was not in danger of being

:18:59. > :19:03.seen as too PC today. With Nigel Farage delivering one of his

:19:04. > :19:08.strongest attacks on immigration policy. In scores of our cities and

:19:09. > :19:14.market towns, this country, in a short space of time, has frankly

:19:15. > :19:17.become unrecoginsable. He later told reporters that he was left feeling

:19:18. > :19:22.awkward and uncomfortable on a recent train journey because he

:19:23. > :19:26.didn't hear anyone speaking English. It is because we love Britain that

:19:27. > :19:32.we will be voting UKIP. But it was questions about the role of campaign

:19:33. > :19:35.director, Neil Hamilton, the former Tory MP who took "cash for

:19:36. > :19:41.questions", which got the party leadership rattled. Could he really

:19:42. > :19:45.be the face of the new UKIP. No he's the back room boy, the campaign

:19:46. > :19:50.manager. Thank you. But did Neil Hamilton see it that way. Nigel

:19:51. > :19:55.Farage has just described you as a back room boy, is that how you see

:19:56. > :20:00.your role? Well I am for most of the week, but I'm front of house today.

:20:01. > :20:04.Will you be staying in the back room during the campaign? I haven't been

:20:05. > :20:08.in the back room today have I. You will be front of house? I go around

:20:09. > :20:14.the country and speak at public meetings. I did one in Birmingham on

:20:15. > :20:18.Monday, Hartlepool on Thursday, and Worcester on Friday. That doesn't

:20:19. > :20:24.sound like a back room role? At the tends what you mean. It was time to

:20:25. > :20:27.get back to Mr Farrage, I have just asked Neil Hamilton how he feels

:20:28. > :20:31.about being described as back room boy. He says he will be front of

:20:32. > :20:35.house during the campaign? I have answered that already, thank you.

:20:36. > :20:39.Thank you, this is really very boring, he's not a candidate that is

:20:40. > :20:44.the point I'm making. Of course you are not, you are obsessed with it,

:20:45. > :20:47.I'm bored with it and I'm not answering questions on that subject.

:20:48. > :20:53.UKIP thinks it has won the right to be taken seriously as a political

:20:54. > :20:55.party, but the controversy over Neil ham himmen to's role suggests that

:20:56. > :21:01.Nigel Farage was right when he said that this party was got some growing

:21:02. > :21:05.up to do. Nigel Farage didn't go in for expectation management today,

:21:06. > :21:14.he's promised to resign if he fails to get an MP elected in 2015.

:21:15. > :21:17.We were expecting Nigel Farage to join us this evening, but following

:21:18. > :21:20.that press conference he cancelled the Newsnight interview. The press

:21:21. > :21:28.office told us they didn't want to dwell on the wrong issues.

:21:29. > :21:34.Elizabeth Thomson may not be a household name, but she has just

:21:35. > :21:40.been unveiled as the teacher that made Sir Alex Ferguson formidable.

:21:41. > :21:45.Today he revealed he was beaten by her many times, and bequeathed the

:21:46. > :21:49.belt when she died. He believes the punishment made him the man he is

:21:50. > :21:56.today. Is beating character forming or claptrap. Kathy Lette the author

:21:57. > :22:05.of books, including The Boy Who Fell To Earth, and Katy a writer on

:22:06. > :22:08.children's issues. What did you think of it? My reading of it, he

:22:09. > :22:14.didn't talk about the beating but the belt she left him. But the

:22:15. > :22:17.beating did not... The belt was where? He didn't talk about the

:22:18. > :22:21.beating. He talks about the agony of the beating? He was talking about

:22:22. > :22:25.her character, her determination, her energy, those were the three

:22:26. > :22:30.things he picked out. And it was the most fabulous sort of you know, this

:22:31. > :22:35.woman helped to make his character. And what I find fascinating about

:22:36. > :22:39.it, is not so much the beating, but all the sorts of things that

:22:40. > :22:43.teachers, you know, eccentric and wonderful teachers could do in those

:22:44. > :22:47.days that they couldn't bossably do now. For instance that -- possibly

:22:48. > :22:51.do now for instance she turned up at the houses of the children playing

:22:52. > :22:54.truant, saying if he's not here today I will be here tomorrow. Are

:22:55. > :22:59.you appalled when you hear of it? Yeah I am. What sort of character

:23:00. > :23:03.did it turn him into, he has the compassion and warmth of a bit of

:23:04. > :23:06.rock. If you want to build your character surely you go and work for

:23:07. > :23:10.the peace corp or go and volunteer for Oxfam. This whole idea of

:23:11. > :23:19.beating children to discipline them, I find it is abhorrent, but it is

:23:20. > :23:23.also lacking in logicic, , how often to you see people in the supermarket

:23:39. > :23:44.contrast to a teacher who says come to my office, 1.00 sharp and you

:23:45. > :23:49.know it has been planned and thought out? To be honest, what I think we

:23:50. > :23:54.have lost is we're so, the way teachers teach now is so regulated

:23:55. > :23:58.that there isn't room for any kind of you know, when I was a child,

:23:59. > :24:01.when I was at school teachers could teach something we were passionate

:24:02. > :24:07.about. Now you have to teach this and this and this, you have to tick

:24:08. > :24:10.all the boxes. If this was a conversation about dogs, should we

:24:11. > :24:14.beat our dogs to teach them how to behave, the whole country would be

:24:15. > :24:17.up in arms, I sometimes think England prefers dogs to kids, you

:24:27. > :24:29.called Eton and hare low! -- Harrow! Sir Alex Ferguson is a man that

:24:30. > :24:33.thousands of men and little boys would love to be and emulate. If you

:24:34. > :24:39.said this is how you get a character like that, what would your kids say?

:24:40. > :24:43.It is not loving football, is he such a good role model. We know he

:24:44. > :24:48.disciplined Beckham by throwing a shoe at his head and cutting his

:24:49. > :24:52.eye. His own son was up on an assault charge. It is a cycle of

:24:53. > :24:55.viciousness. I can tell you have never trained a big dog, we have a

:24:56. > :24:59.second Great Dane, if he does anything wrong, a Great Dane doesn't

:25:00. > :25:04.know for instance that a chicken is not a toy. The first time he grabbed

:25:05. > :25:10.a chicken, I did exactly what my daughter told me to do, and she read

:25:11. > :25:13.veterinary science, I ran and bit his ear because that is what his

:25:14. > :25:16.mother would do. Is there a difference between the way you

:25:17. > :25:23.discipline your children? Going back to this preciousness, my father was

:25:24. > :25:27.a headmaster of a prep school and conscientious objecter, he abolished

:25:28. > :25:31.corporal punishment when he went there. But my mother had a dog

:25:32. > :25:35.called Prince that came to the school us, and at half time the

:25:36. > :25:39.matron said to my father, headmaster we have run out of sticking plaster

:25:40. > :25:43.because your dog has bitten every child in the school. These days the

:25:44. > :25:47.school has been closed down. Did your father regret taking corporal

:25:48. > :25:52.punishment out of the school system? No he didn't. It is not something

:25:53. > :25:56.you could see produced or recommended? What is the psychology

:25:57. > :26:02.that lasts in their mind. Think about the English boys that went to

:26:03. > :26:06.private school, they can't pass a perversion without pulling over. It

:26:07. > :26:10.is destructive. We are getting off the point, read the article that

:26:11. > :26:14.Alex Ferguson wrote, he's not talking about being beaten every

:26:15. > :26:18.day. He is. He's not. He's talking about the inspiration of a woman who

:26:19. > :26:24.was completely committed, whatever it took, to making something of

:26:25. > :26:29.these boys. They were truanting all the time she stopped them. Do you

:26:30. > :26:33.think though we yes or no for place where the teachers -- yern for place

:26:34. > :26:38.where the teachers have a power and the children knew where they are,

:26:39. > :26:42.there was an elegance of who was in charge? I don't think we yearn for

:26:43. > :26:47.that, it is the same if you train a dog you reward and not punish, you

:26:48. > :26:54.ignore bad behaviour. Do you hit your kids? I hit my son once, and of

:26:55. > :26:58.course my guilt gland throbbed and I was mortified. What I'm seeing now

:26:59. > :27:02.is all my women friends have teenage daughters and they are being hit by

:27:03. > :27:05.their teenage daughters. Living with a teenage daughter is like living

:27:06. > :27:10.with the Taliban, you are not allowed to laugh, sing, dance or

:27:11. > :27:17.wear short skirts, a survival tip, if they are hitting you or whatever,

:27:18. > :27:21.take a drag of a cigarette and a gulp of wine. We will take you

:27:22. > :27:26.through the papers tomorrow as you can imagine the Crimea dominates

:27:27. > :27:30.most of them. Russia invading Crimea. Fear of Ukraine conflict.

:27:31. > :28:18.That is the front page of the Guardian.

:28:19. > :28:24.That's it for tonight, but we argued all day about whether to end the

:28:25. > :28:29.programme on amazing pictures of thousands of starlings flocking over

:28:30. > :28:33.Hereford, or the equally beautiful pictures of the Aurora Borealis over
